Mild tremor rating 4.6 on the Richter felt in Nepal

KATHMANDU: A mild 4.6-magnitude tremor was felt in Nepal's capital Kathmandu early this morning, over two months after the country's worst temblor in decades claimed nearly 9,000 lives and caused widespread devastation.

The aftershock was recorded by the National Seismological Centre at 1.49 am with its epicentre in Dhading district.

A total 340 aftershocks with 4 or more magnitude have been recorded since the April 25 quake.

Earlier this week, as many as six tremors were felt over a period of two days.
